{ "pk": 26112, "title": "Interaction of Instructional Material Order and Subgoal Labels on Learning in\nProgramming", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "Subgoal labeled expository instructions and worked examples\nhave been shown to positively impact student learning and\nperformance in computer science education. This study\nexamined whether problem solving performance differed\nbased on the order of expository instructions and worked\nexamples and the presence of subgoal labels within the\ninstructions for creating applications (Apps) for phones.\nParticipants were 132 undergraduates. A significant\ninteraction showed that when learners were presented with\nthe worked example followed by the expository instructions\ncontaining subgoal labels, the learner was better at outlining\nthe procedure for creating an application. However, the\nmanipulations did not affect novel problem solving\nperformance or explanations of solutions,. These results\nsuggest that some limited benefit can be gained from\npresenting a worked example before expository instructions\nwhen subgoal labels are included.", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [ { "word": "instructional design; STEM education;\nprogramming." } ], "section": "Papers", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/6kg6135z", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Laura", "middle_name": "M.", "last_name": "Schaeffer", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Georgia Institute of Technology", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Lauren", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Margulieux", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Georgia Institute of Technology", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Richard", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Catrambone", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Georgia Institute of Technology", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": null, "date_accepted": null, "date_published": "2016-01-01T10:00:00-08:00", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/26112/galley/15748/download/" } ] }
